In Loving Memory of Dr. Wayne Dyer (1940 – 2015)

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, 75, the best-selling self-help guru and author of 30 books, died late this Saturday. His family made an announcement on his official Facebook page, stating:

“Wayne has left his body, passing away through the night. He always said he couldn’t wait for this next adventure to begin and had no fear of dying. Our hearts are broken, but we smile to think of how much our scurvy elephant will enjoy the other side.
